E5 Product Description
The E5 Series rotary encoder has a rugged glass-filled polymer enclosure with either a 5-pin or 10-pin latching connector. This optical incremental encoder is designed to easily mount to and dismount from an existing motor shaft to provide digital feedback information.
The internal components consist of a mylar disk mounted to a precision machined aluminum hub and an encoder module. The module contains a highly collimated solid state light source and monolithic phased array sensor, which together provide a system extremely tolerant to mechanical misalignments.
The single-ended output version (S-option) is typically used with cables of 10 feet or less. For longer cable lengths, the differential output version (D-option) is recommended.
Attachment of the base to a surface may be accomplished by utilizing one of several machine screw bolt circle options. Positioning of the base to the centerline of a shaft is ensured by use of a centering tool (sold separately). The cover is securely attached to the base with two 4-40 flat head screws to provide a resilient package protecting the internal components.
A secure connection to the E5 Series encoder is made through a 5-pin (single-ended versions) or 10-pin (differential versions) latching connector. The mating connectors are available from US Digital with several cable options and lengths.
Avago Replacements:
US Digital's E5 encoder may now be used as a replacement for Avago HEDL-5500, HEDL-5600.
